## Summary

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport for groups of one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant accompanying the journey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle purchase. Surrey County Council is the buyer, and the requirement relates to its SEND client transport provision. The award identifies transport services as the work involved, but does not name specific delivery locations or routes.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. One lot was awarded to Tunsgate Cars Ltd. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £106,925. The available award information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or the evaluation basis, so the award outcome cannot be linked to specific quality or price weightings.

For transport operators considering similar Surrey County Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for SEND transport using taxis or MPVs carrying one to eight passengers, with a passenger assistant. A credible supplier would need suitable vehicles and the operational capacity to deliver accompanied journeys for passengers with enhanced needs. The contract was won by Tunsgate Cars Ltd, recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was within the scale of an SME supplier. Experience in passenger transport and the ability to provide passenger assistants would be relevant capabilities for competing when comparable work returns to market. The limited-competition route is also relevant to suppliers tracking the council’s approach to this type of service.
